Manhattan Dental Care

The Team at Manhattan Dental is great. Always accommodating. Hygienist, Front Office folks and Dentists!

Jennifer, the dental hygienist is wonderful, nice, efficient, and very professional. Going to the dentist is not the best experience in your life but since we all have to do it, Im glad she is cleaning my teeth. Shes quick and thorough. You are able to see the doctor afterwards so she can look at your xrays. this is the best cleaning I have ever gotten. Would highly suggest. Especially convenient for AMNH employees. A lunch hour cleaning (w/​o eating your lunch!).

Dr. Jacobs and staff are amazing!!!

I was very disappointed and never visit Manhattan Dental Care again for following reasons:
*The reception is not trained, they force me to sign and write down unnecessary info that are not required from persons who have an insurance.
*I was diagnosed by a receptionist before showing my teeth to the doctor. Of course it was all wrong. Ridiculous!
*I made an appointment with Dr Jacobo because of this Unilocal post as several people recommended her. However, I understood she is not for everybody. Not for me at least, she was not helpful, and she does not explain fully until I understand or she seems not welcoming having my questions about the treatment.
*I was sold unnecessary treatment that I did not want, and when I rejected, they started getting upset. I thought doctor and patient is same level, but at this dentist, patient must obey dentist. This is what I felt.

Just before purchasing my dental insurance, I needed to register a PC dentist so I turned to Unilocal!I called many of the in-​network dentist offices to determine when I could be seen for a crown repair. Most were a week or so… But after reading her reviews here, I really wanted Dr. Jacobs as my PC and she’s in my network — YAY, right?
So I called and the receptionist asked me how old the crown was, but because she mumbled I didn’t understand and said «What?» and she barked «HOW OLD IS THE CROWN SIR?» — adding the sir for extra sarcastic emphasis and I was taken aback. Then she lackadaisically told me to hold on… that a cancelled appointment for «tomorrow» was available. I had just told her that I was in the process of buying dental insurance and that I was trying to find a PC dentist… In other words, you can’t see a dentist the day after you buy insurance — it doesn’t work that way. The application has to be processed, etc. All of the other in-​network dentists offices knew this, even though they don’t receive as many stars as Manhattan Dental Care. So for your lack of knowledge and tact through my first communication, you are rated as 1, because, as the Unilocal slogan goes: Esk! Methinks not.

5 stars for great service, seeing me on schedule & for professionalism of staff!
Today was my first visit to the office. I actually selected this office as my PCD due to the Unilocal reviews I saw.
I scheduled a month or so in advance due to availability (Plan Ahead). I arrived about 20mins before my scheduled time & filled out the new patient forms. (Note if you do not have a specified copay you will have to fill out a financial form & provide credit card information).
After I finished I was seen on schedule for my appointment, I can’t tell you how refreshing that was! Jennifer was my dental hygienist she took my X-​rays & performed my cleaning. I have never liked visits to the dentist, but thorough, polite staff like Jennifer make your experience all the better.
Dr Park reviewed my X-​rays & his analysis was spot on to a few things that were bothering me. I left with clean teeth, a referral & an appointment for my next cleaning. Highly recommend this office! Clean, quiet, efficient & professional :)

So far, so good. This practice accepts my insurance. It’s comfortable, and Cheryl the administrator is patient and courteous with all my requests for appointments, rescheduling, scheduling, and insurance follow-​ups. I was recommended to Dr. Jacobs, but I started with Dr. Park, who has been very thoughtful and sincerely concerned about the treatments, and their durability.
TIP — basic checkups schedule out way in advance, but if you’re flexible they seem to be able to work people in.

I’ve been coming here for a few years and only have a great experience. I find the front desk receptionist to be very friendly and helpful. The hygienists have always been so nice, esp the last girl I had, and Dr. Jacobs is incredibly friendly and gentle. It’s always a little scary to find a new dentist but this was a good find!

This place was such a breath of fresh air after my previous subpar dentist!
Growing up, I had very poor dental hygiene and no dental insurance whatsoever. You can only imagine the kind of toll that has had on my health and self esteem. Now that I’m much more financially stable, I’ve been making health a priority and I’m so happy Manhattan Dental is a part of that process.
After a rather terrible experience at another dental clinic (I got a «cleaning» that didn’t really do much at all), I switched to Manhattan Dental on the recommendation of friends. The location and staff are excellent, everyone is really warm and no one is trying to swindle you by offering useless procedures. My dentist, Dr. DeVito was extremely professional and amicable in every sense of the word. He took care of an unsightly cavity that has dampened my smile for years.
The facilities are clean, the technology is up to date, and everything is just smooth. Not an ounce of pain or discomfort during my procedures. I would highly recommend!

Rudest receptionist. She barks on you to finish paperwork and has the worst attitude. Every time I picked up my phone she yelled at me to hurry up! I was looking through my phone to get information for the paperwork — what did she think I was playing scrabble?! That office is filled with women and since I work with an industry full of catty women I could tell the attitude I was receiving was because of how I looked.
Sat down in the dentist chair as the doctor spoke to me about treatment that she said she wouldn’t be able to do since she had another patient. But I had gotten there 15 minutes prior to my appt like I was directed in order to fill out the paperwork. Why wouldn’t they tell me to sit down first and I’d finish the paperwork after?
Waste of time. Then to get charged for a completely pointless visit? Psh.
**UPDATE** So after being rushed out of there and told that they couldn’t give me a crown on tooth #2 because I needed another root canal on #3 — I just left an endodontist that confirmed I DO NOT need a root canal. Those b-​words basically just didn’t want to do any work on me and sent me on another pointless dentist appointment! WASTE OF TIME! Pick another dentist if you want to have accurate diagnosis and a staff that actually cares about your well-​being!

Dearest Hygienist, You should read this review because you are the single greatest human being cleaning teeth right now. You also have the prettiest nails. I felt like a rock star after my teeth cleaning and you were SO fast! The receptionist is also nice and I never have to wait long to get in the dentist chair.
I love this dental office, they always help me out whether it is an emergency or a scheduled check up. Once I started crying because I had to get a root canal and I was so embarrassed and scared. They referred me to an amazing doctor and even called down to the office to let them know I was nervous so they should be extra nice to me!

I have only good things to say about my experience at Manhattan Dental Care. The receptionist was thorough, professional, and kind. The hygienist, Jennifer, was clearly experienced and great at what she does; my teeth were visibly and palpably cleaner after I saw her. The dentist, Dr. Park, was equally professional and considerate, and I am happy to trust my dental care to him. I had a very unfortunate experience at another dentist, where their office strove to extract money rather than promote health; this was the exact opposite experience. I highly recommend Manhattan Dental Care!

I came here after a horrible experience at another dentist in which they screwed up a crown and had it not fitting properly, cutting into my gums and causing a lot of pain and inflammation.
I was a complete nervous wreck and also worried about spending more on top of the $ 1500 I already spent at the horrible dentist…
So far Manhattan Dental Care has been helpful and Dr Park is correcting the previous crown. My mouth already feels better, and I trust they will do a good job from here on out.
Highly recommend them.

I found this office on account of Unilocal reviews so I felt it was only fair for me to post my feedback. I literally just left the office and couldn’t wait to come on here and tell everyone about what a great experience I had. I had a cleaning and initial x-​rays/​consultation. I met with the hygienist and Dr. Jacobs. Both were the sweetest! Once the dr. explained what I would need done, the receptionist was able to tell me right then and there what my out of pocket cost would be and was able to map out my appts for me.
The hygienist was very thorough and gentle. The doctor was also very thorough and had a great bedside manner.
So happy I found this office!

Have had a couple dental issues in the past year. Manhattan Dental is the 3^rd place I’ve gone and I can’t believe I didn’t find it sooner. Would recommend to everyone if you want quality professional dental care.
This office is clean, the receptionist works with your schedule and Dr. Jacobs is amazing. Had an emergency a couple weeks ago and she opened the office early to take care of me. Recommended several specialists throughout the city who saw me immediately and helped fix my dental issues.
So far I’ve had 2 cleanings and crown work done with Dr. Jacobs. 5 stars with every procedure.

Without question, Dr Jacobs gets five stars. She’s been my dentist for many years and she’s superb. One never wants to go to the dentist but she’s one I don’t mind seeing. I always know she’ll be able to handle any dental drama with patience and extremely gentle care. Cheryl at the front desk is super about getting you an appt. And the dental assistants are equally wonderful. I do NOT like dentists in general, but having too many dental issues over the years, I’m thankful to have Dr Jacobs in my life.

I have a pretty horrible dental plan with aetna dmo. Manhattan dental was nicer than any other office id been to under my plan, in a nice doorman building.
Reception was clean and friendly. Jennifer, the assistant who cleaned my teeth was thorough and made it as pain free as possible.
I saw dr jacobs briefly to discuss a filling I needed done. Because of my insurance, it is going to cost 115, a bit steep. Dr. Jacobs seemed very nice. I was in and out of the office in under an hour. Pleasant experience, which I don’t say often about the dentist…
One week later:
I got my resin filling done by Dr. Jacobs un under 30 min. she was extremely quick and nice, and the process was painless. Great experience!

As one of the other reviewers, it took me a while for an appointment. I needed a check up so I am not sure if you can get in quicker if you have any issues. Over the years, I have had some VERY painful scaling experiences and this was a piece of cake. Office was very well-​maintained, convenient, and efficient!

Ever since moving to my own dental insurance (2 years now), I have not been able to find a dentist who can clean my teeth without me crying and screaming. My coworker recommended Manhattan Dental Care and I was very happy with their work! I still hate that torturous water thing they use but at least the dentist I had was gentle and it was really not as awful as some other dental places I’ve experience. Great service!

My endodontist suggested Manhattan Dental for my post root canal crown. He didn’t steer me wrong. He suggested that I see Dr. Jacobs, but I needed to get in quickly, so I ended up seeing Dr. DeVito. I was a bit worried, because Dr. DeVito seemed so young, but he did fantastic work on my crown. He’s professional, nice, and really cares about your comfort. The facilities are very nice, and their reception is very friendly.
